We have not yet reached Whigdom and besides, we don’t have a ridiculous name like “Whig” either. ~Julie Ponzi, No Left Turns

This is an extension of Ms. Ponzi’s notion that only two parties will exist in our system to provide alternative interpretations of the Constitution–as if there could only be two! But the Republicans are the heirs of the Whigs in toto, and I daresay that the Red Republicans have lately been outstanding heirs of the original party of treason.

“Remember, remember, the fifth of November, the Whiggish treason and plot. I know of no reason why the Whig Party’s treason should ever be forgot.”
